[13:33] <lubricant> Hi, am running Lubuntu on a celeron dell inspiron 2200 series. Needless to say problems are with the wifi , can anyone please advice. Bios has wifi on and i have the b43 drivers installed
[13:39] <Silverlion> rehi lubricant i may not be able to advice you but maybe you would like to post your problem on http://ubuntuforums.org/?
[13:39] <lubricant> Silverlion, was advised to go to linux-wireless not sure which network its on though
[13:40]  * Silverlion neither
[13:40] <Silverlion> but the forums is always a good place to post such questions because there are more people then on irc
[13:42] <lubricant> Silverlion, yes - there are already many posts which i have trawled through and cannot find a solution hence asking here
[13:43] <lubricant> Silverlion, found #linux-wireless seems its on freenode
[13:43] <Silverlion> then try there ;)
[13:43] <lubricant> trying :-)
[13:45] <lubricant> On another note - am amazed at Lubuntu - am using a spin called lxle and its thrilling - esp after my younger machine died had to move back to this old celeron, lubuntu booted no sweat with no grub parameters required and here i am working away with a niggling wifi problem
[13:50] <lubricant> Hey, trying a different tack - i have a wifi pci card inserted, how do i figure out if that can work without propreiotory drivers
[13:50] <lubricant> *proprietory
[15:09] <cerebratelu> somehow i disabled my x
[15:09] <cerebratelu> i usually use lxde
[15:10] <cerebratelu> startx doesn't functino
[15:15] <cerebratelu> quit
[15:18] <tehCereluenn> how do i initiate lxde from terminal
[17:59] <Kamilion> Having a bit of a weird problem, lubuntu 12.10... Doing a bit of flask webdev on my netbook, and every time I reboot, the directory /var/run/uwsgi dissapears and I have to recreate it and chown it www-data.
[18:00] <Kamilion> Any idea what it is I'm doing that's triggering that? btrfs filesystem, with btrfs-apt-snapshot.
[18:01] <inductiveload> Kamilion: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html
[18:01] <xnox> Kamilion: /var/run is a symlink to /run, which is a tmpfs filesystem. It's created in RAM every time you boot.
[18:01] <Kamilion> How interesting -- on my server that isn't occuring.
[18:01] <inductiveload> /var/run is cleared at boot time
[18:01] <Kamilion> And all the stuff in it's recreated every boot?
[18:02] <xnox> Kamilion: i can't remember when we switched to tmfs, but it's a cross-distro move (e.g. fedora, debian, suse are all on board)
[18:02] <xnox> Kamilion: yes.
[18:02] <Kamilion> yeah -- i'm familiar with systemd's push for this stuff
[18:02] <xnox> Kamilion: so is that a package from the ubuntu archive that relies on /var/run/uwsgi, or something you compiled yourself?
[18:02] <Kamilion> where can I register to have an empty dir created for my .sock files?
[18:03] <xnox> Kamilion: no, /run was first proposed by ubuntu security team, and later spread elsewhere.
[18:03] <Kamilion> pip install uwsgi, and a simple upstart job in /etc/init/uwsgi.conf to start an emporor
[18:03] <xnox> Kamilion: i'd recommend you install uwsgi with apt-get.
[18:03] <Kamilion> won't work
[18:03] <xnox> as that should work properly.
[18:03] <Kamilion> way too old
[18:03] <Kamilion> doesn't even take the same --options
[18:04] <Kamilion> everything else is in a venv but pip, setuptools, and uwsgi.
[18:04] <xnox> Kamilion: ok. in that case you'll need to extend upstart job to create the dir you want, or possibly have two upstart jobs, one to create /var/run/uwsgi and the real upstart job to depend on that one.
[18:04] <Kamilion> like a preexec?
[18:05] <Kamilion> I just wrote a bunch of systemd units for another system a couple weeks ago... *goes to look at upstart docs*
[18:07] <Kamilion> perfect.
[18:07] <xnox> Kamilion: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[18:07] <Kamilion> I got it.
[18:08] <Kamilion> pre-start script
[18:08] <Kamilion>     mkdir -p /var/run/uwsgi; chown www-data.www-data /var/run/uwsgi; # prepare environment
[18:08] <Kamilion> end script
[18:08] <Kamilion> exec $UWSGI --master --emperor "/var/www/sites/*/config/*.ini" --die-on-term --uid www-data --gid www-data --logto $LOGTO
[18:08] <xnox> =))))))
[18:09] <Kamilion> can I squish that mkdir/chown into a single command somehow?
[18:09] <xnox> yes.
[18:09] <Kamilion> *man mkdir*
[18:09] <xnox> man install
[18:10] <xnox> install -d -g www-data -o www-data /var/run/uwsgi
[18:11] <Kamilion> ahh, great. That feels so much cleaner.
[18:11] <Kamilion> Should I clean up after myself with a postexec?
[18:11] <Kamilion> or just let the bootscript do it's job?
[18:12] <Kamilion> eh, i'll let the bootscript do it's job.
[18:12] <xnox> Kamilion: the beaute of /run is that you shouldn't clean up, as you will not have a chance if for example it all bursts into flames =)
[18:13] <Kamilion> lol
[18:13] <Kamilion> will keep that in mind
[18:13] <Kamilion> afk for a bit; doing some testing on this app coming back to life from coldboot... (yay, znc!)
[18:37] <Kamilion> yay, all works well from coldboot now. Thanks, xnox, inductiveload!
[18:37] <xnox> =)
[19:03] <Kamilion> Heh -- no wonder why I havn't seen this behavior on the webserver
[19:04] <Kamilion> 19:03:49 up 99 days, 23:33,  4 users,  load average: 0.11, 0.09, 0.06
[19:04] <Kamilion> it hasn't reboot for /var/run to be cleared... Better fix that problem before it does!
[19:08] <Kamilion> xnox: Thanks, probably saved me a headscratcher in a couple months when someone finally does get around to rebooting it
[19:09] <xnox> yeah, not many servers survive reboots after ages of operation.
[19:10] <Kamilion> i've tried to be diligent about making upstart jobs and systemd units on all the systems. I'm pretty proud of my autossh systemd unit, hehe
[22:12] <cerebrate> how do i change the colors of the elements of windows on lubuntu?  i want bright yet subdued hues please
